Envalior Akulon S223-G2U PA66 Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Per ISO 1183, the density is 1.25 g/cc (0.0452 lb/in³), with 13% glass fiber reinforcement enhancing rigidity without excessive weight.
• Water Absorption: Simulating ISO 62, water absorption is 8.0 %, comparable to unfilled grades, indicating limited impact from low fiber content.
• Moisture Absorption: Under humidity conditions (sim. ISO 62), moisture absorption is 2.10 %, showing minimal change from the base polymer.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage (Flow): As per ISO 294-4, flow-direction shrinkage is 0.010 cm/cm (0.010 in/in), slightly reduced by fiber reinforcement.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage (Transverse): Per ISO 294-4, transverse shrinkage is 0.015 cm/cm (0.015 in/in), reflecting greater polymer dominance in the transverse direction.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Polyamide 66 (PA66)
• Reinforcement: 13% Glass Fiber
• Modification Features:
